    Keyhole in room door wasn’t always easy to use.

    Friendly staff. Comfortable room and bed. Amazing food both as an evening meal and the breakfast.

    Couple of rooms are on the smaller side . Wifi variable Narrow drive through archway at entrance

    Having discovered the Brantwood we are regular returners , this charming traditional small country house hotel in a peaceful village setting maintains consistently high standards offering excellent hospitality from the owner and his friendly helpful team of staff is a true gem. Excellent food available in the restaurant and if staying over the weekend the exceptional Sunday lunch is a must . Cosy welcoming bar area in which to enjoy a relaxing drink . Outside garden seating area and on site parking

    the television was very small, not a major issue but would have been nice to have a larger newer model. the bathroom toilet has a water issue, it kept filling meaning I could hear it when sleeping. im a light sleeper so probably wouldn't affect many people. small issue. not a complaint

    Room was clean and well decorated.

    Lovely stopover in a quiet location near the M6.

    The paintwork was a little chipped, especially on the door to the room. This door was a bit lightweight which meant the noise of people moving on the (creaky) stair was quite noticeable. A higher quality door would improve both these issues.

    Check-in was prompt and friendly and our room was spacious and cosy. The breakfast was tasty and the waitress was efficient and friendly. The hotel is only a few minutes from the motorway and in a nice quiet village which was lovely for a relaxing walk before dinner. Tip: The fuel at the filling station just off the roundabout on the way to the village is 25p per litre cheaper than the motorway service stations, and it has a wonderful deli!

    Pleasant country hotel in a convenient and attractive location.
    • Leisure trip

    There was low water pressure which meant the shower didn't work well. The bedroom we had looked over a roof and had no view and the window blind was badly fixed and didn't work. These were minor niggles as we were very happy in general. Some of the rooms had lovely views over the gardens.

    The room was on the small side but the bed was big and very comfortable. Tea, coffee and biscuits in the room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with dinner. It was well cooked 'proper' food, lots of fresh veg and my husband said the beef pie was the best he has had in a restaurant. A nice change from the usual cheap chips and factory produced re-heated from frozen rubbish one often gets served with these days. Breakfast was also excellent.
